three quarter miles these rocks rise per-
pendicular from the waters edge to the
heighth of nearly twelve hundred feet.
They are composed of a black granite near
the base, and from the fragments we sup
pose the upper part to be flint Of a yellow
lowish brown and cream color. Nothing
can be imagined more tremendous than
the frowning darkness of these rocks, which
project over the river and menace us with
destruction. The river, of three hundred
ard fifty yards in width, seem to have fore
ed its channel down this solid mass, but
so reluctantly has it given way, that du-
ring the whole distance the water is very
deep even at the edges, and for the first
three miles there is not a spot, except one
of a few yards, in which a mar could stand
between the water and the towering per
pendicular ofthe mountain; the convulsion
Of the passage must have been terrible,
since at its outlet there are vast columns
Of rock torn from the mountain, which
are strewed an both sides of the river, the
trophies as it were, of the victory. Sew
eral fine springs bGrst out from the ehasms
Of the rock, and continue to increase the
river, which has IA strong current"

OUR [ R COMPANY.

Now that the initial step has been
taken in the organization of a fire
company, the citizens Of Great Falls
should come forward with assistance
and encouragement to those who have
enrolled themselves as fighters of the
devouring element. That there is in
this town good material for such IN
organization is beyond question.
Those who have come forward and
subscribed their willingness to do bat
tie against the flames compose a body
of men in every way qualified to car
~ out the obligations which they
have assumed.
Though all are not veteran fremen,
still there is a goodly sprinkling of
those who in former days andin other
places have fought the fire fiena.
These with others, willing, able and
energetic will form the nucleus
around and from which will grow a
fire department upon which the peo-
pie Of Great Falls can with implicit
faith depend for protection The fiery
ordeal is one through which young
and growing towns are generally com
PEELED to pass.
Frequently the necessity for a fire
department is not fully realized I'M
Ill the smoldering ashes tell the pa
thetic story Of ruin and desolation.
It seems however that Jul people
have determined to adopt a p%recaution
before the mischief has been done, and
not wait till stolen steeds remind
them of the adyisability Of locking
stable doors. Let the good work go
bravely on, and let every citizeu as
sist willingly and promptly in second
ing the endeayors of the organizers to
form and equip a fire company at once.

The TRIBUNE wishes all its subscrib-
ess and all others who ought to be
subscribers, a Happy New Year. We
nope that 1887 will bring you prosper
sty and joy and that when 1888 rolls
around you will all be found enrolled
upon the TRIBUNE list with subscrip-
lions paid for another happy new
gear. How little we GIN tell what
may be in store for us during the com
ing year. The uncertainties of life
should make us all generous and char
liable towards our fellow men. As to
Great Falls, we have a town of which
we all may be proud. Fortunately
we have enterprising, public spirited
citizens who are bound to develope to
the utmost, the great natural advan-
tages with which their adopted city is
endowed. The growth of Great Falls
during 1886 has surpassed all expect
ations, but that will not be a marker
compared with its strides during the
coming year.

WI are obliged to run two columns
and a half of plate matter this week
owing to an unexpected shortness of
help. The TRIBUNE does not believe
in this plate business except for such
emergencies as this. In the first
place it does away with a large am
cunt Of honest labor which can be le-
ultimately and profitably employed.
Secondly it fills the columns Of a pa
per with stale matter which is run in
scores Of journals over and over again
until it has about as much virtue as a
wad Of gum which has been the POUNDS
Of a public school. Third: From a
mechanical point of view it is but a
daub and d blight on any decent pa
per. Subscribers are entitled to fresh,
readable matter, set up in an artistic
manner each week.

Lewis ard Clarke.

On they 10Th Of July they re-embarked
long portage from Portage coulee to i
point just above the rapids at the foot of
Central avenue. The Smith river was
named by them in honor of the then secre-
tary Of the navy. 1t is thus described in
their report. ssThis stream falls into a
bend On the south side of the Missouri,
and is eighty yards wide. As far as we
could discern its course, it wound through
a charming valley, towards the southeast,
in which many her sof buffalo were feed
ing, till at the distance of twenty-five miles
it entered the Rocky mountains and was
lost from our view" They found the
prickly pear in abundance and pronounce
it one of the greatest beauties as well as
the greatest membranes of the plains.
"A large, handsome bold river emptying
itself from the north" they named the
Dearborn in honor of the secretary of war.
1t has been claimed by some that the
t'Gate of the Mountains is not where the
Missouri leaves the Rockies but further up
the river. We conclude from Lewis &
Clarke's description that these claimants
are in error. !
They speak of them as at the entrance to
mountains. "The rocks approach the riv-
er on both sides, forming q most sublime
and extraordinary spectacle. Five and

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.

No one should fail to read the very
interesting article upon Manual
Training schools published in this ed
itlon. Col. Wheeler makes a strong
argument for the establishment of
such institutions in Montana, and
makes a practical local application of
it by advocating the early founding
Of one at Great Falls. Surely no
point could be better adapted to it
than this. From our many broad
acres enough can be spared for ample
grounds. All the necessary materials
for the erection Of buildings are at
hand. The establishment Of various
manufactures at the falls will give
the pupils an opportunity for practic-
al application Of what they acquire
from books besides being an ever pre-
sent incentive to them to perfect them
selves in their respective arts for the
purpose of filling important positions
II the great industrial enterprises be-
ing carried on about them. The sig
niticance Of having a manual training
school at an industrial centre is too
clear to need extended discussion.
When not busy with their studies
young men will have an opportunity.
to gain a livelihood in the shops, upon
the farms or on the ranges in this vi
entity. Here too, We have a salubri-
u climate, picturesque scenery and
unlimited opportunities for healthful
out OF door diversions, such as hunt
ing, fishing and boating. This
scheme is a practical one and we hope
steps will be taken at once to carry it
into effect.

THIS has been an off year for freight
ers. Many have met with serious
losses. Some became so involved that
they concluded to silently steal away
from their creditors. Others have
been horribly mangled by the capsiz-
ing Of their wagons and several killed
outright. U~nrelenting fate has kept
after them until another victim has
been found in one VIM. Haigler, who
left his outfit near Assinaboine and
took his own life by blowing his brains

What's in a Number.

Boston HERALD; Thirteen proved to
be an unlucky number in the case of the
doodle" aldermen in New York. Thir-
teen of them went into the "combine" on
the Broadway railroad, at the price of
100000 each, in 1884, and of these two
are dead, n is insane, three have fled
the country, two have turned states evi-
dence, one is in prison for ten years, one
is waiting sentence, and three remain to
be tried.
CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER, of Illinois,
hasa pet scheme for the admission of four
of the territories as states, and for its sue
cess calculates on substituting it for some
other territorial bill. The result will be
that Springer's bill will not become a law
and some other meritorious legislation
will be killed. Dakota, Montana and
Washington should be admitted as states
without any tinkering over general enabl-
ing acts. For the other territories an en-
abling act might we'll be passed.-Inde-
